LUCKY GRAPE

Description

CHERRY 🍒 | MINERAL 🪨 | SPICY 🌶 

Der 2022 Vinho Tinto is an exciting cuvée of 55% Rufete, 25% Carrega Burros, 10% Marufo, and 10% Alfrocheiro, vinified by winemaker André Duque Lourenço. Only 6,000 bottles were produced—a wine that combines traditional methods with modern expressiveness.

The grapes are harvested by hand in 15-kg crates and fermented spontaneously, without temperature control, in separate tanks. Twenty-five percent of the wine matures in 300-liter chestnut and Portuguese oak barrels, which lends it subtle complexity.

In the glass, it displays a deep ruby ​​red and offers a floral scent of rose, accompanied by fresh cherry and raspberry aromas. Fine spice notes and subtle wood accents provide additional depth. On the palate, it is dry, medium-bodied, with present tannins and lively acidity. The finish is medium-long with lingering floral and spicy notes.

Grown on granite soils under the influence of the Central Iberian climate – hot, dry summers and cold, rainy winters – this wine brings its origins to the glass with expression and finesse.
